What is the speed of light in a medium of refractive index n? The refractive index can be seen as the factor by which the speed and the wavelength of the radiation are reduced with respect to their vacuum values: the speed of light in a medium is v = c/n, and similarly the wavelength […]

How heat energy is transformed into another form?
How heat energy is transformed into another form? In a thermal power station, heat energy converted into electrical energy. Sun gives light so light energy is converted into solar energy this is also one type of heat energy because heat energy is converted into solar energy. What can heat be transformed into? Thermoelectric materials can […]
Is Tungsten poisonous?
Is Tungsten poisonous? Tungsten has been the subject of numerous in vivo experimental and in vitro studies in view of determining its metabolic and toxicity profile. However, tungsten and its compounds are not considered very toxic for humans. Most existing human toxicology information comes from chronic occupational exposure. Is tungsten carbide toxic to humans? * […]
